When is the FBI gonna get involved with this case? Or even the State Department? I trust the Mexican authorities as much as I would trust a rattle snake to baby sit my kid.
We have one American killed, his body still hasn’t been recovered. The lead Mexican investigator gets his head chopped off and returned in a suitcase. And the FBI is sitting on the sidelines.
Why is that President?
USA Today reports that the Texas sheriff leading the U.S. investigation into the fatal shooting of an American man said Mexican officials are trying to discourage the victim's wife from pushing for a fuller inquiry.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo "Sigi" Gonzalez said Sunday that Tiffany Hartley was subjected to 12 hours of questioning by Mexican investigators Friday in an effort to "intimidate and discourage her from doing anything."
Hartley is scheduled to meet with Mexican prosecutors and investigators today, Gonzalez said.
He said the questions asked by Mexican investigators were not aimed at resolving the Sept. 30 incident, when Hartley says her husband, David, was shot by Mexican pirates. His body has not been recovered.
"It's wrong. It makes no sense," Gonzalez said. He said he received an account of the meeting from U.S. officials who attended the session in McAllen, Texas.
Mexican officials could not be reached for comment Sunday.
Gonzalez's account contradicts a statement released Saturday by the Mexican attorney general's office. It said Hartley's wife provided new information about the Jet Ski outing on Falcon Lake, which spans the U.S.-Mexican border.
"Mrs. Hartley provided valuable information that will allow federal investigations to continue," the Mexican government's statement said.
The statement did not elaborate on the nature of the information provided by Hartley, who has expressed concern that the investigation and search would be abandoned.
